(d)     Read the following information.

 

          You are asked to decide which option for the disposal of poly(ethene) will be put forward in your area. You decide that recycling is the best option.

          Suggest one economic argument and one environmental argument that will be made against recycling.

Landfill, Incineration, Recycling and Re-use of Poly(ethene)

 

People could be encouraged to re-use their poly(ethene) bags and containers.

 

Recycling poly(ethene) saves raw materials and energy needed to make new plastic. When polymers are recycled the plastics must be collected, transported, sorted into different types by hand and washed. This requires the use of fossil fuels and is expensive.

 

Poly(ethene) can be burnt in an incinerator with other household waste. The heat released could be used to make steam to drive an electric generator. Surplus heat could be used to heat greenhouses used for growing vegetables. Incineration at too low a temperature can produce harmful substances. The residue (ash) has to go to landfill.

 

Landfill is probably the easiest way to dispose of polymers and it is cheap. Polymers are often mixed in with other household rubbish. Household waste does not get sorted into different materials because it is disposed of in the same hole in the ground. When the hole is eventually full, the waste is covered by a layer of soil to stop it smelling. The waste gets compressed under its own weight. Most polymers, such as poly(ethene), are not biodegradable so will remain in the ground forever.
